The nice thing about ext3 is that if you need to hit the power switch, rebooting is much, much faster, since it doesn't have to go through a lengthy fsck of the partition. It makes testing like this a lot nicer. Converting a filesystem from ext2 to ext3 is really quite easy (and you can always switch back to ext2 if you need to). _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
